DICK'S Sporting Goods and the DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation believe every young person should have the opportunity to benefit from sports.

Through our Sports Matter program, we turn our belief into action by supporting youth athletic programs in communities across the country.

All youth sports teams are welcome to apply for funding through the DICK'S Sporting Goods' Sponsorships & Donations program.

Public and public charter school teams also have the opportunity to submit a Sports Matter crowdfunding project through DonorsChoose.org, a renowned crowdfunding website and the largest supporting students and schools.

For a limited time, the DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation will fund the project once donors fund the first half on eligible team sports projects. DonorsChoose.org engages its community of donors in the funding challenges facing public schools by giving people a simple, accountable, and personal way to help students. Our partnership with DonorsChoose.org will connect teams with thousands of donors across the country who share in our unwavering belief that Sports Matter. Through DonorsChoose.org, public and public charter school teams can create projects to support their team operations, including equipment, facility rental, transportation, lodging, pay to play or team registration fees, and sports camp registration fees.
